“It’s so nice that I got to bring him with me to Boston,” she says. “And it’s such a walking city here that I can just wake up in the morning and put him in the stroller and go to a beautiful park, and walk around to see the city and be outside which is so nice, because I felt like when I was in L.A., other than a couple of walks or a hike, there wasn’t really a lot of nature to be in.”

“Obviously, there are aspects that are scary and daunting, but when I try to look at the positives of it, I’ve gotten to spend more time with my son than I would’ve ever gotten to spend because we were just at home,” she says. “And so as much as I was feeling heartbroken for the world and really worried about friends and family, to get to focus on just being a mom and being home and not having anywhere to be, that was a really, really special time for me.”
